Glossary
Process impact: This file as a dictionary of terms
defined
as they are used during the project. Writing out the definitions of
terms and
acronyms here helps keep other documents more concise and precise. A
shared
glossary helps prevent misunderstandings and makes it easier for new
team
members to be productive.
Project-specific Terms
TIPs:
- Define HTML anchors on your terms with id="TERMNAME" so that
other documents can link to the definition of specific terms.
- If there is any question about the meaning of a term, note it
here. If someone (e.g., the customer) gave you a definition to use,
note that here too. If something is best defined by using a hyperlink
to another document or website, include a hyperlink in the definition.
- If a term was used in the past, but is no longer going to be
used, you should keep it in the list, mark it as "deprecated", and link
to the term or terms that replace it. E.g., deprecated standard term bug.
- Define only project-specific terms, or ones that a new team
member would not know. Don't define standard textbook terms that can be
easily found elsewhere.
- This glossary can serve as simple domain model or data
dictionary. You can define important data objects by describing their
meaning and key attributes. For example, see student
and GPA.
